Connectional Giving - Pensions and Benefits

For every dollar that you give, a portion of that dollar goes to the conference for pensions & benefits for our clergy and lay employees. This United Methodist Church giving practice is called "Connectional Giving." Use these pages to learn how the dollar you gave is being used through the Rio Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church

Your Dollars at Work

Money given to a United Methodist Church not only supports the ministry of that local church, it also enables ministry around the world. The Rio Texas Annual Conference has five different categories for apportioned funds given through the local church. Click on the link below to learn about those categories and how your giving is put to work.

PENSIONS AND BENEFITS

Some of the most valuable assets of the Rio Texas Conference are the women and men who give their lives to serve our churches. We invest our time, money and effort to train and prepare our clergy. We also invest in their continued health and eventual retirement.

This fund subsidizes current health benefits for pastors. The pension apportionment pays 50% of the cost of health coverage for each full-time pastor appointed to one of our churches, while the remainder of the cost is paid for by the church.
